Overall Satisfaction with The Okta Identity Cloud
Okta Single Sign-On was integrated with a new application that was custom developed for the graphics department at a major broadcaster's enterprise. Okta was integrated as the top layer of security to eliminate credential reauthentication as the new system was being accessed by over 200 people with various levels of authority and access boundaries. It saved time with the helpdesk requests and provided easy and fast access to multiple areas of the system for the authorized personnel.
Pros
- Reporting features for Okta have significant advantages over its competitors with detailed reporting for each user and access log.
- Ability to integrate multiple identity providers.
- Directory Integration: Okta's ability to configure the master/universal directory that can be set and switched at will is great as it doesnt require separate system updates.
Cons
- Hardware Integration with devices that are on premises requires separate hardware upgrade that can be quite expensive depending on the number of devices required.
- Price : Okta is great for large enterprises, but small to medium sized companies wouldnt be able to afford the high cost.
- Company doesnt provide different levels of services that can be added or deleted depending on the needs of the organization.
- High ROI as it eliminates need for multiple help desk personnel who were required to reset passwords or help users with access issues.
- OKTA provides detailed reporting that can be an efficient use for HR to track the productivity as well as access logs for the managers
- Okta provides an added layer of security to systems that makes the managers feel safer with confidential material access.
- one login and Centrify Application Services
Okta single sign-on provided better functionality with a higher variety of directory integration that was important for our particular organization with multiple user directories being accessed by various departments.
Cost was another factor for our selection as some other authentication programs were priced much higher than OKTA without the functionality that our organization needed for the new system upgrade.
